Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the proceedings of the Fifth National Convention for Amending the US Constitution (1874), convened to discuss the absence of reference to God and Christianity in the Constitution. The convention sought an amendment that would reflect the nation's Christian character and provide a legal basis for Christian laws and practices in the US. The convention aimed to resolve the inconsistency between the nation's Christian foundations and the secular nature of the Constitution. The discussions delve into the relationship between morality and government, the role of the Constitution in shaping national life, and the significance of acknowledging God's authority in civil governance. The book offers insights into the historical, social, and philosophical underpinnings of the movement to amend the Constitution, shedding light on the evolving understanding of Christianity's role in American society.
